Celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr by planting hundreds of trees and shrubs at Woodhaven Natural Area along Cedar Creek! This versatile site is a beloved neighborhood park, a locally significant natural area, and a provider of regional wildlife connectivity.

Please arrive by 8:45am to sign-in and be assigned a planting crew. The planting starts at 9:00am. We provide gloves, tools, and planting guidance, as well as breakfast snacks and coffee/tea/hot chocolate -- all you need to do is show up dressed for the weather wearing sturdy shoes or boots, and be ready to have fun!

How do I register? Visit the Event Calendar (https://friendsoftrees.org/event-calendar/), click on this event, and fill out the quick registration form. Groups and individuals welcome! If your group is more than 5 people, please know you will be assigned to different planting crews.

Under age 18? We request that youth 15 and under volunteer with a parent/guardian . Youth 16 and older can volunteer on their own and will need to hand us a youth waiver form ( friendsoftrees.org/youthwaiver) signed by their parent/guardian.

Questions? Please check out our Volunteer FAQ webpage (https://friendsoftrees.org/volunteer-faq/). Our team is also happy to assist! You can reach Cece and Jenny at volunteer@friendsoftrees.org, 503-595-0213. We look forward to planting together soon!
